Violet Whisper

Description: The Violet Whisper is a glamorous, aromatic cocktail that beautifully fuses floral, fruit, and citrus notes. Vodka creates a silky base, while lychee and lavender provide exotic complexity, and lemon juice balances with a hint of sharpness. Normally crowned with sparkling wine, this drink can easily swap to soda water or 7up for a lighter, more playful finish. Edible glitter adds irresistible allure. Ingredients: - 1 oz Grey Goose Vodka - 0.75 oz Absolut Vanilla Vodka - 0.75 oz purple liqueur (Crème de Violette, Parfait Amour, *or substitute below*) - 0.5 oz Lychee syrup - 0.25 oz Lemon juice - 2 dashes Lavender syrup - 2 oz sparkling wine, prosecco, soda water, or 7up (to top) - Edible purple or silver glitter (for garnish) Glass: Serve in a coupe glass for maximum elegance. Substitutes for Purple Liqueur: If you don't have Crème de Violette or Parfait Amour, try one of these options: - 0.5 oz lychee liqueur + 2-3 drops purple food coloring for color (if desired) — this keeps the floral aspect but stays in the theme. - 0.75 oz St-Germain (elderflower liqueur) for a different, but still floral, dimension. - 0.75 oz blueberry or blackberry liqueur for color and subtle berry-floral notes. - 0.75 oz homemade butterfly pea flower syrup (for color) plus a splash of elderflower liqueur. Using Lychee Liqueur: Yes, you can absolutely include lychee liqueur! For a twist: - Replace lychee syrup with 0.5 oz lychee liqueur (or use both for extra lychee flavor, but consider reducing total syrup so the drink isn’t too sweet). Soda Water or 7up: Soda water creates a lighter, dryer profile, letting florals shine. 7up makes the drink sweeter and more playful, accentuating the fruit and floral notes. Final Assembly: Shake all ingredients except soda/7up and glitter with ice. Strain into a coupe glass. Top with your chosen fizzy ingredient. Garnish with edible purple or silver glitter for a magical finish. Enjoy your Violet Whisper—a customizable, shimmery showstopper!
